By: Gabriela Yareliz I was absolutely sure someone was sabotaging my laundry run by holding the elevator on the fourth floor. Here’s the thing— the only way to get the basement where the machines are is via elevator. There is no staircase. I patiently waited (my frustration mounting). I wondered if I was going toContinue reading “Intersections and Delays”

Winds Unleashed
By: Gabriela Yareliz The wind has been jogging my memory, lately. Have you ever been on a walk and been pushed by the wind? I guess what is worse is when you end up walking against a gust that makes you levitate. Everyone who has been in NYC knows these streets turn into wind tunnels.Continue reading “Winds Unleashed”
A Call to Prayer
By: Gabriela Yareliz At first, I had prepared this as a piece to a post I was going to have go live earlier, but this merits its own post and many more. We encourage all who read to join the global body of Christ in prayer for Kevin Rideout, U.S. missionary abducted last week inContinue reading “A Call to Prayer”
Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
A NYC Monday
My Kindle is out of battery. I am reading a crappy book, but it beats this. We are a captive train audience. A man in a Knicks hat with tattoos sleeves on each arm is foaming at the mouth and yelling into people’s faces. The devil has found us today. The disturbed man dishes insults toContinue reading “A NYC Monday”
One Does Not Hold Truth
By: Gabriela Yareliz In recent times, I have noticed an interesting push for the Catholic Church that wasn’t as evident before. I think it’s important to spot these things and observe them. They are cultural moments of significance. It draws the question— where did this flow from? This post is not so much a criticismContinue reading “One Does Not Hold Truth”
Brush with Evil
By: Gabriela Yareliz The world is small. Sometimes, it’s interesting to think of time overlaps. This is bound to happen in the randomness of life and also, in its mysterious synergies. These are moments where you and another person are in the same place but you don’t know each other then. For example, the momentsContinue reading “Brush with Evil”
Love Received
By: Gabriela Yareliz When a loved one has passed, we still think of them every day. We love them. We miss them. There would be no point in missing someone we won’t see again, but it’s like we know. We know this is not the end. I wonder what happens to all the love accumulatedContinue reading “Love Received”
Forecasting
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night at church, Erwin McManus reminded us of something powerful— our hope and anticipation for the future is tied to whether we believe God is good. Erwin walked us through Ezra, where the people of Israel laid the foundation for the new temple (the temple known as the inferior temple. Ironically,Continue reading “Forecasting”
Only the Brave
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved this message from Erwin McManus. It was a powerful reminder of the call to courage, and the role our measure of courage plays in laying hold of the life God can help us achieve. The interesting thing is courage is a decision. It is up to us. The message isContinue reading “Only the Brave”
